J. Tillman has had a whirlwind of a decade. ¬†From the genesis of Fleet Foxes to his departure into a solo career as J. Tillman and planting roots into his Father John Misty alias, we’ve seen Tillman find his voice as a front line folk hero for cultural and political satire. ¬†From our unchecked narcissism on social media to clickbait journalism to the turbulent presidential campaign, Father John Misty has given a voice for many a disillusioned soul in our country and beyond.

And then there’s the music. ¬†From grandiose chamber pop to minimal piano and acoustic ballads, Father John Misty’s serpentine¬†lyrical quips are shrouded in gorgeous orchestral meanderings and his simple, honest vocal treatment. ¬†Pure Comedy appears to be continuing down that biting lyrical route with the recently dropped title track, married with a music video that throws a gigantic mirror to our world at large.

On occasion, David can be seen crate-digging various Austin record stores in hopes of finding an original vinyl pressing of some obscure post-punk band. In 1986, David experienced his first heartbreak when the Houston Astros blew the National League Championship Series to the New York Mets. Austin has been his home since he was born, not because of his unwillingness to explore new terrain, but because it is the finest town a hopeless music lover and taco enthusiast could ever imagine.
